Description
The 1927 St. Gaudens Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. The U.S. Mint produced 2.9 million examples, making this ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 47% of production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. The 1927-D is one of the rarest regular-issue Saint-Gaudens with fewer than a dozen confirmed survivors. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $5.0K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9186.
